Mexican Bake

If you've been a long time reader of Finding Joy in My Kitchen, you know that we don't eat very many Mexican recipes. I love south-of-the-boarder dishes, but, Frog prince isn't a big fan. I decided to give this dish a try because it was covered in cheese. Frog Prince can't resist cheese!

The original recipe is freezer-friendly and can easily be made in bulk. I paired down the recipe to serve two, and also reduced the amount of meat in the dish. We often reduce the meat in a recipe, allowing us to stretch our meat across more than one meal. And, honestly, we didn't miss the extra half-pound of ground beef in the recipe. It was a great recipe we both enjoyed.

I have this bag of brown rice pasta I've been trying to think of a good way to use it, and this might be it. Well-flavored, where a little sogginess is a plus. I'll probably sub in a green veg for the beef, though.

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
